I also want to apologise to you Marknis as I have got carried away in the past and never gave a thought how you might be feeling.

I only just found out about this, so sorry for not chiming in earlier...

I also share your thoughts about this site: With that said, I don't think that it's a dislike of you personally, more that a large portion of the site have a dislike of opinions which do not match their own, and so make the person presenting these ideas the target of the responce, as they aren't able to articulate a reason why they disagree with what is presented (or want to insert motives which aren't present in order to make themselves feel\appear "superior" at anothers expence).

Unfortunately, as more people who have differing views leave, the site will turn even more into an echo chamber, with people only hearing things which reinforce their views, rather than challenging them, which would be sad to see happen.

To answer the questions in the title.

Yes, and yes.

I cross paths with you fairly often, but I havent witnessed any of this stuff you're talking about, but if what you're saying is true then it IS unfair how the mods treat you. Dont know what else to say.

What will happen is they start attacking left leaning people that aren’t far left enough.
Much in how leftist professors are now being attacked as nit left enough but their students. As the atmosphere shifts people like kk who don’t rabidly attack trump or his supporters will be deemed to be just as bad as trump, labeled a Nazi and attacked. Sympathizers can’t be allowed on the new wrong planet. Centrist are under attack now, true conservatives are already gone. Next is center to leftist. Eventually one of the far left will turn on the other both claiming they aren’t far left enough.
As long as this is allowe wp won’t be safe for anyone unless they post a daily or hourly how they hate trump, how trump is litterally hitler and his voters all racist nazies.
If you aren’t with them 100% then you’re against them and need to go.

History forgot mis due to be repeated.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Some might feel their safe, just as the those people did until they came for them.

So who will be there for non far left members here. Not me and you.

There are better safer unbiased sites, I suggest you flee to them as I will be doing slowly.

Today has been god awful for me in real life though, to point I called out from work. I hate having to lie but they wouldn’t understand that I wasn’t able to come in.

Set few days I’ll be in my dark room crying to dust in the wind.

What happened, Sly? You never call in sick.

I got rejected after two weeks of deep connection and being completely open right before work.

I'm on the left but I do feel a great many left leaning people have been infected by a mind virus, I've stopped posting on a forum I've been a member of for many years for this reason. I'd presume those of us with ASD are more immune to cult like brainwashing techniques because we're more inclined to employ critical thinking, though perhaps in a climate of woke there is a belief that we will have a stronger card to play (that it is to say "my disability cancels out my whiteness so I don't need to feel guilt, I can play the victim and benefit from the new order."). This is not a statement of facts, I'm merely thinking aloud and trying to navigate my way through the confusion, much of it my own, but I know that I don't feel comfortable among the left at this moment in time.

So sorry, Sly. Please accept a virtual hug from halfway across the planet.

Animals are more deserving of our love and compassion than many people are.

I think it's fair to say that even NTs are incapable of critical thought and most can't agree on what that means.

I've found that the left are their own worst enemies...They seem to pick up a cause (be it race, gender, lgb rights) and look at the world through those glasses, accusing anyone who doesn't meet their exacting "standards" of being "racist"\"sexist"\"homophobic" even employing racism and sexism when trying to defend their own ideals.

Sadly, they seem to be trying to divide society rather than bring people together. We can only hope that they one day learn better before their individual groups get written off as not being worth the effort to preserve compared to the problems which they (and their supporters) cause to society as a whole.

I accept your apology, cyberdad.

Thank you, I am taking responsibility for being so disrespectful in the past, you should always feel safe to share your thoughts.

I realise *a lot* of people are self-proclaimed experts when it comes to trying to help people, including me on here trying to help people plenty of times in the past, including the recent past. I regret it. I am not an authority of those people. It was not my right to insist my advice was right for them, because what works for me may very well not work for others. A lot of what people can see of the world, other peoples' views and experiences is through a tiny box. The whole world and everything else i.e. most of reality is outside of that box. People know nothing about others, and the world itself that they think they know. Sometimes there's stuff you have no idea they're going through, but they don't show it. They don't have to. It's their business, not anyone elses'.

I appreciate yours and others' sincerity here, BenderRodriguez. I just need a break from life. You are absolutely right that some peoples' situations are so complicated that it's hard for an outsider to have any idea what's really going on, let alone have the ability to figure it out.

Hope you're ok Marknis.

anyone know of sly's whereabouts? he didn't leave, did he?

He is still here
